AB  - BACKGROUND: Negative beliefs about illness in early psychosis have been shown to 
      have an unfavourable impact on one's quality of life. A shift of focus in 
      psychosis research has been on the detection of individuals considered to be at 
      clinical high risk (CHR) of developing psychosis. Little is known about the 
      impact that beliefs about psychotic like experiences or attenuated psychotic 
      symptoms may have on CHR individuals. AIM: To explore these beliefs in a large 
      sample of young people at CHR of developing psychosis using the Personal Beliefs 
      about Experiences Questionnaire (PBEQ). METHOD: Beliefs about unusual experiences 
      were assessed in 153 CHR individuals with the PBEQ. Prodromal symptoms (measured 
      by the SIPS) and depression (measured by the CDSS) were also assessed. RESULTS: 
      In CHR individuals, holding more negative beliefs was associated with increased 
      severity in depression and negative symptoms. Higher scores on suspiciousness 
      were associated with increased negative beliefs, and higher levels of grandiosity 
      were associated with decreased negative beliefs. Those who later transitioned to 
      psychosis agreed significantly more with statements concerning control over 
      experiences (i.e. "my experiences frighten me", "I find it difficult to cope). 
      CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that targeting negative beliefs and other 
      illness related appraisals is an important objective for intervention strategies.
